Who Rides Portland Streetcar?

In an effort to better answer the question “Who rides Portland Streetcar?”, we conducted the most comprehensive evaluation of ridership in the system’s 14-year history. The 2015 Streetcar Ridership Survey gathered data from 4,300 riders in Spring 2015 to determine where and why people use the streetcar, the demographics of the users, fare payments, and other information.

The ridership survey was administered as part of a larger report to the U.S. Congress on the lessons learned from the federally funded Portland Streetcar Loop project. The report is being developed by TriMet, in partnership with the City of Portland and Portland Streetcar, Inc. and will be included in the 2016 Federal Transit Administration report to Congress.
